PRP
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) uses growth factors from your own blood to rejuvenate skin and support hair growth. It improves texture, softens fine lines and helps with thinning hair, with minimal downtime and gradual, natural-looking results.

About PRP
What Is PRP
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a regenerative treatment made from a small sample of your own blood. It is rich in growth factors that support collagen production and tissue repair, making it a popular choice for skin texture, fine lines and hair restoration.
How PRP Works
A small amount of blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. The PRP is then applied or injected into the face or scalp, where its growth factors stimulate collagen production and support the body’s natural repair process.
What to Expect
Each session takes 45–60 minutes, including the blood draw and processing. Mild redness, swelling or tenderness may last one to two days, and most clients return to normal activities right away. Results build over several weeks; a series of three to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is typically recommended.
